CS/Q:

GTKY: If you have a pet, is there a specific household chore they don't seem to like you doing? If you don't have a pet, what household chore do you dislike the most?

lulu1180 · August 2016

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 27/15

Timing: -5, -3, -1, O

Testing: BFN at 12 DPO; plan to test again at 19 DPO if no AF

R/R: After consulting Dr Google, I feel like I may not be out quite yet this week. There is still no sign of AF and I know my body could still be adjusting to being off the BCP but I'm not so sure.
1. I had menstrual like cramps on and off from Saturday afternoon until yesterday with no sign of AF (not even spotting). They seem to be gone for now.
2. I went to check my CP last night expecting it to be low in anticipation of AF and it was between medium and high
3. While checking my CP, I also decided to check my CM, not necessarily expecting any; so I was surprised when I had something that resembled creamy CM.
4. I've been super emotional recently. I know it could be attributed to impending AF but I'm not usually quite this emotional. Last night I started to get weepy talking to DH about a local amusement park that closing after this year.

Sorry for the novel (again). If my temps are still up and no AF, I plan on testing again this Saturday.

CS/Q: See above. Can someone tell me I'm not going completely crazy here???

GTKY: If you have a pet, is there a specific household chore they don't seem to like you doing? If you don't have a pet, what household chore do you dislike the most? Our puppy doesn't like the vacuum cleaner but in addition to that, she will bark at the swiffer when we are trying to clean the hardwood floors.

felix08 · August 2016

@lulu1180 Is there a reason you're not testing again until 19dpo? Why not test today to put your mind at ease? If you get a BFN at 15dpo, it's likely that AF is coming.

Month/Cycle: 12/12

CD/DPO: 24/7

Timing:-3 through 0

Testing:probably won't

R/R: I should really stop temping during the TWW--my temps always toy with me. Big spike today but I know it means nothing.

CS/Q:

GTKY: If you have a pet, is there a specific household chore they don't seem to like you doing? If you don't have a pet, what household chore do you dislike the most? Vacuuming

marybpoppins · August 2016

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 22/5

Timing: EOD during FW

Testing: before Labor Day weekend if no AF

R/R: Work is crazy. I'm beginning to wonder if I should look for new jobs - but we have SUCH great health insurance that I would love to have when I'm pregnant. Hopefully I can hold on for however long it it's to have a baby, but we'll see...

CS/Q:

GTKY: If you have a pet, is there a specific household chore they don't seem to like you doing? If you don't have a pet, what household chore do you dislike the most? The household chore I dislike the most has nothing to do with my pets because my pets shed a lot but I actually enjoy vacuuming. I hate cleaning the bathrooms. Luckily DH usually does them.

lulu1180 · August 2016

@felix08 There are a couple reasons I wanted to wait. One of which is that I wanted to test when DH isn't home and the only time I know that will be for sure is Saturday. The other reason was that I didn't want to use up my last HPT if my temp dipped back below the coverline or AF decided to arrive before then. Although I did think about testing in the middle of the night last night when I couldn't sleep. I don't think I've ever been so damn confused in my life! ETA: If you think I'm being silly, you can tell me so.

bumpybump · August 2016

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 22/7

Timing: -2, 0

Testing: Wait for AF

R/R: DD just dropped my phone on the tile bathroom floor and shattered the screen. This is the first time in 12 years that I've ever need a cell phone repair. Grrr!

CS/Q:

GTKY: If you have a pet, is there a specific household chore they don't seem to like you doing? If you don't have a pet, what household chore do you dislike the most?
We have a dog but he is outdoors so no household chores bother him. DD hates when I vacuum. She goes screaming and clingy to the Windows like she can jump out and save herself. So I've hated vacuuming since becoming a mom.

Edited - because I can't count

Megzb510 · August 2016

Month/Cycle: 13/9

CD/DPO: 26/8

Timing: -4,-3,-2, IUI on 0

Testing: I confirmed this weekend that the trigger was out. I will probably test again on 10 DPO

R/R: this TWW is hard. I'm trying hard to think of other things but I want this IUI to have worked.

CS/Q: I'm like halfway trying to test temps to see what would make my chart triphasic cuz I've had a temp dip then rise but then I remember I'm on progesterone and wondering if I'm totally wasting my time temping at the point. I will keep temping for science and I need to remember that even if it was triphasic, that it doesn't mean I'm KU. I don't really need a CS but here is my chart if you're curious.

GTKY: If you have a pet, is there a specific household chore they don't seem to like you doing? If you don't have a pet, what household chore do you dislike the most? My dogs are lazy little dogs. They don't like when people ring the door bell. They also don't like when I move their doggie beds to sweep the kitchen

[Deleted User] · August 2016

*lurking from wto *

@Megzb510. So far for me, temping on Progesterone has not been a total waste! But I do try to remind myself that I'm taking it, just to talk myself down at times.... lol. "Triphasic could mean nothing, ID could mean nothing, IB is not a thing," etc. Those are some of my TWW mantras. FX so hard for you though, woman!!!!!! :D

saralee797-2 · August 2016

CD1 ended up being yesterday.... bye everyone! Don't follow me!!

[Deleted User] · August 2016

@Saralee797. Noooooooo!!!

At least we'll be WTO together for a hot second... :/

shstephenson · August 2016

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 14/3... FF changed my O day from CD 10 to CD 11 which seems much more reasonable to me.

Timing: -3, -1, O, +1

Testing: way to soon to even entertain the notion. I say wait til AF but that never happens.

R/R: Dealing with an awful kidney infection since Saturday and I'm finally feeling a little better I think. Hallelujah.

CS/Q: Not anymore

GTKY: If you have a pet, is there a specific household chore they don't seem to like you doing? If you don't have a pet, what household chore do you dislike the most?
They aren't fans of the vacuum at all. But I feel like that's fairly common.

jackiemarie1989-2 · August 2016

@lulu1180, I agree with @felix08, if you are 15 dpo, take a test today. Although I understand your reasons for waiting, it sounds like in your case the symptom spotting might drive you crazy before 19 dpo! SS is so hard not to do, but it messes with your head for sure.

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 26/16 or maybe 26/12

Timing: either -4, -1, and +1 or -3 and 0

Testing: BFNS last week, way too early. I had one more test I was going to use but I had a temp drop this morning. So.

R/R: They are finally doing our deck today! We have been waiting a month for them to put on the deck guard because they need several rainless days in a row and it kept raining. I am excited for a clean, smooth, non-mildewy and non-splintery deck

CS/Q: I normally temp at 5 am, but I woke up on my own at 4 am this morning and figured I better temp then because by 5 am I would've been awake too long. So I have an open circle for today's temp. Should I have waited until after I went back to sleep and tempted at maybe 530 (but then without 3 solid hours of sleep), or did I choose the better option?
Here is my chart for funsies, but I honestly do think the temp dip is accurate after my negative tests. I am a bit let down today because my temps had continued to rise until today. Boo.

GTKY: Our cat hates the vacuum. She starts to run away when she sees me picking stuff up off the ground, because she knows the vacuum is coming next

saralee797-2 · August 2016

@BusinessWife haha I feel like we are hardly in the same place at the same time! Long cycle here. Anyway, its okay because I totally saw it coming and I am just ready to move on with an RE and a plan! You understand

linzrunz · August 2016

Month/Cycle: 6/6

CD/DPO: 24/7

Timing: -4, -2, -1, 0

Testing: maybe 10 dpo

R/R: This rest of this week will be super busy. I'm hoping it'll keep my mind off of TWW.

CS/Q: nope

GTKY: If you have a pet, is there a specific household chore they don't seem to like you doing? If you don't have a pet, what household chore do you dislike the most?

My cats hate everything because they're cats. I have two dogs. One hates the vacuum and the other one likes to attack it.

Yes, honey, I think we get it!

FX for a super duper plan from your RE!

*snip* My cats hate everything because they're cats.

Haha, truer words were never spoken.

Month/Cycle: 8/8 TTCAL, 19 months/cycles in all

CD/DPO: 28/9

Timing: ED, all D, every D

Testing: Maybe tomorrow? Some ladies here have given me hope that my low P levels could be due to the date of the blood work. (Thank you, ladies - you know who you are!)

R/R: I work for a private college as full time staff but I also am an adjunct instructor. I teach Public Speaking and my first class of the semester is this afternoon and I am SO looking forward to it!

CS/Q:

GTKY: If you have a pet, is there a specific household chore they don't seem to like you doing? If you don't have a pet, what household chore do you dislike the most?
We live in a historic home with nothing but hard wood and tile. The cat isn't really bothered by much but my two dogs hate a Swiffer.

jeg07 · August 2016

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 18/6

Timing: -4, -3, -2, O

Testing: Maybe this weekend but I'm going to try to hold out

R/R: I have to go into work early today and then work later than usual blah! But I'm getting Starbucks as a treat. My DH and I have been watching Stranger Things and I think we'll finish it tonight.

CS/Q: Are there any patterns to CM after O or is it a free for all down there?

GTKY: If you have a pet, is there a specific household chore they don't seem to like you doing? If you don't have a pet, what household chore do you dislike the most?
My cat doesn't give a shit about anything, he loves following me around when I dust though. My dogs are pretty laid-back about chores. We have a roomba and my little dog gets a little nervous around it.

jackiemarie1989-2 · August 2016

@jeg07, I'm not positive on this one so someone may correct me, but I believe it usually becomes creamy, then sticky, the dry. Of course I'm sure it varies some between individuals

krys-2 · August 2016

Month/Cycle: 4/5

CD/DPO: 20/3 (maybe)

Timing: probably not good.

Testing: not at all.

R/R: so this was a "wasted" month. I forgot to temp through half of it, got so busy that I didn't HIO, and I couldn't tell you if/when I ovulated because of said temping debacle. It has just been a really bad month at my real job, and the second job is amazing but has me so, so tired. BUT the one good thing is that I've been consistent with my B6 every day (and vitamin c and of course PNV) so I'm hoping to see if my overall cycle is a little longer this time. Since I failed in an epic way at temping, I won't know what it did to my LP until next cycle, but I'll safely assume that if it's longer than it has been, it's working.

CS/Q: Nope, because there's nothing to see! #failboat

littlebug2010 · August 2016

Month/Cycle: 5/3 ttcal

CD/DPO: 16/3

Timing: -4, -3, -1, 0, +1

Testing: Going to try to wait for AF, but I dont know if I can wait that long. It might be sometime during labor day weekend.

R/R: My DH and I moved into a new house a few months back, and I meant to bake for our neighbors who put up with our crazy reno before we moved in, but I have not done it becuase of the heat. I might actually get my act together and bake tonight.

CS/Q: none

GTKY: If you have a pet, is there a specific household chore they don't seem to like you doing? If you don't have a pet, what household chore do you dislike the most?
My dog is super laid back when it comes to chores. He isnt even scared of the vacuum. The chore that he hates is bath time for him. We dont like it much either, but he really hates being wet, so when bath time comes around, we have to chase him around just to get him in the sink (hes pretty small) but once hes there he just stands there and gives us dirty looks.

[Deleted User] · August 2016

@JackieMarie1989 I know that for me it's worth it to just go back to sleep even if it's for 30 minutes and take my temp at the same time as usual because if I take my temp even half an hour too early it's usually WAY lower. But every person is different so it's hard to be sure.

mrsdee15 · August 2016

Month/Cycle: 13/11

CD/DPO: 18/4

Timing: Great

Testing: Not yet.

R/R: My temps have been so low, despite being on progesterone. I'd love to be one of those people with a clear O and regular cycle. I don't know if it's even worth temping for the rest of this cycle because of the medications.

CS/Q: Nope.

GTKY: If you have a pet, is there a specific household chore they don't seem to like you doing? If you don't have a pet, what household chore do you dislike the most? None of the animals appreciate the Roomba's existence.

[Deleted User] · August 2016

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD/DPO: 22/6

Timing: 0, -1, -2, -3, -5

Testing: Still not sure. Probably 12 DPO.

R/R: Taking the AZO cranberry pills for this dumb UTI. Luckily it's not a bad one, so hopefully it will go away soon.

CS/Q:

GTKY: If you have a pet, is there a specific household chore they don't seem to like you doing? If you don't have a pet, what household chore do you dislike the most?

They are used to it now, but when I first got the BOB vacuum robot they would chase it around and bark at it.

Oh and @lulu1180 I also vote that you just test today.

ETA also @Megzb510 that chart is so pretty! fx those temps keep going higher!

lulu1180 · August 2016

@felix08 @JackieMarie1989 @antoto Thanks for helping! Is it true that I should try to hold it for 4 hours to get a good build up of hcg? It's obviously a bit late to do FMU.

I think I've heard 3 hours before. But I also feel like at this point you might not even have to hold it if you were KU.

lulu1180 · August 2016

Thank you @antoto!

swanbrooner · August 2016

@ahrains That GIF! Dying.

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 20/3

Timing: -3, -2, -1, +1

Testing: Ha!

R/R: Crosshairs this morning! I'm hoping this TWW won't drive me too crazy.

CS/Q:

GTKY: If you have a pet, is there a specific household chore they don't seem to like you doing? If you don't have a pet, what household chore do you dislike the most?

My dogs are needy little dudes, so anything that detracts from attention or snuggling is usually pouted about or given the side eye.

Aurora1973 · August 2016

Month/Cycle: 9/8 (3AL)

CD/DPO: 20/6

Timing: -5, -4, -3, -1, +1

Testing: If I can even make it that far, I think Monday, 12DPO. But I'm super nervous still about having another short cycle.

R/R: Usually the BSC doesn't start until about 8DPO. But last month, the day I thought I was 8DPO was the day AF barged in. So my stupid brain has made adjustments, and moved the BSC up a couple of days. Thanks, brain! Also, I had a pretty good temp drop today. I didn't get one before AF showed up last month, but I'm freaking out anyway, for good measure.

CS/Q: Not yet...

GTKY: We don't currently have pets. I hate most chores, but my special favorite thing to hate is doing any kind of floors.

shstephenson · August 2016

@Aurora1973 my BSC hits about 8DPO too. Fx that you'll either have a longer cycle this time around, or better yet, you'll be KU this cycle!

Aurora1973 · August 2016

@shstephenson Doesn't it make that last few days seem never ending? FX for both of us

ClaireCF · August 2016

Hello everyone, I'm new here! I've been a lurker for a while and have posted a little in different groups but not here.

Month/Cycle: 10/5 (took a while to realize I don't ovulate/have a cycle on my own)

CD/DPO: 31/5

Timing: - 5, -3, -1, 0, +1

Testing: Nowhere close yet! Last cycle was the first time I actually ovulated and AF arrived 11 or 12 DPO. I didn't test last time because I had all the telltale signs it was coming on. Also had the trigger shot which can give a false positive for a while and I don't want to get my hopes up!

R/R: Feeling like I am going to have an impossible time focusing at work during the TWW. My temps are also a little all over the place and it seems like FF isn't doing a great job tracking my cycle. I know I O'd because of the trigger shot and there is a clear shift but FF isn't recognizing it for some reason.

CS/Q: None yet!

GTKY: If you have a pet, is there a specific household chore they don't seem to like you doing? If you don't have a pet, what household chore do you dislike the most? Vacuuming! My dog isn't afraid of it, just seems to think it's his life mission to kill the evil vacuum whenever I have it running.

captainfoxtrot · August 2016

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 20/2

Timing: AI on -1

Testing: cheapies on DPO 8

R/R: I'm sooo tired.

CS/Q: nope

GTKY: If you have a pet, is there a specific household chore they don't seem to like you doing? If you don't have a pet, what household chore do you dislike the most?

Vacuuming! Cats hate it. They run under the bed, but one of them glares from on top of the bed. Otherwise, if I'm cleaning too long in general, one will go into the kitchen and start yelling cause she doesn't understand what I'm doing.

Westy99 · August 2016

lurking from WTO:

@ahrains I laughed out loud at your cat gif. & my coworkers all looked at me funny. whoops.

@mrsdee15 also your cat vs. Roomba gif. haha!!

lund · August 2016

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 25/12

Timing: -2, +1

Testing: test in two days.

R/R: Had to help my amazing dog of 14 years pass on yesterday. Fucking awful. I'm glad I could do the kind thing for her, but damn I got that dog when I was EIGHTEEN years old. Hard to do life without her.

CS/Q: not so much

GTKY: If you have a pet, is there a specific household chore they don't seem to like you doing? If you don't have a pet, what household chore do you dislike the most? Our remaining dog is typical and doesn't like the vacuum. We just got a Botvac and he is terrified of the big black moving circle on the floor. It's actually quite funny! My cats LOVE it when I put laundry away, which is the only thing that makes it tolerable!

[Deleted User] · August 2016

Oh no @LuND I'm so sorry. Saying goodbye to a pet is so horrible, especially one that has been in your life longer than most people are. Sending you lots of hugs right now.

PurpleRains · August 2016

@LuND I am so sorry for your loss (((creepy internet hugs)))

ClaireCF · August 2016

@LuND so sorry to hear about your dog!

DungeonTrollMel · August 2016

@LuND I am so sorry. Pets are family and lossing them is miserable.

lund · August 2016

@DungeonTrollMel, @ClaireCF. @ahrains, @antoto - thank you so much for the kind words! I miss the hell out of that dog.

meilay · August 2016

@LuND I'm sorry for your loss. I know saying goodbye is not easy.

Month/Cycle: 6/7

CD/DPO: 20/3

Timing: -5, -4, -3, -2, -1

Testing: Probably next Wednesday. I like to be let down easy and AF is always a punch in the gut if I just wait until she shows.

R/R: For the second month in a row I have an overnight work event right when AF is supposed to start. Last month I started while in the woods on a company camping trip. Really hard to choke down s'mores when I wanted to be curled in a ball crying instead. Next week I have a retreat (not camping, thank goodness!) with my direct team. Other than that I'm just experiencing the usual "now every pang in my abdomen totally has meaning since FF gave me CH." I hate this constant oscillation between feeling excited and feeling pessimistic. I'm over my TWW already and I just got here. Lol.

CS/Q:

GTKY: If you have a pet, is there a specific household chore they don't seem to like you doing? If you don't have a pet, what household chore do you dislike the most?

I consider bathing my dogs to be a chore and they would give that a hard pass. Thankfully they're more of the resigned to their fate variety and so they just look really sad when getting a bath, rather than fighting me when it's time.

shstephenson · August 2016

@LuND I am so sorry for your loss! Losing a pet is never easy and I can't even begin to imagine after having him/her for 18 years. Praying and sending positive vibes your way! *creepy Internet hugs*
